Personal style is about taking a risk, trying something unexpected, and having fun with fashion, but always being true to yourself.

I've never wanted to be in fashion. Because if you're in fashion, you're going to be out of fashion.

For me accessories create and define a woman's personal style. The bag she carries, the watch on her wrist, her jewelry, her sunglasses, her shoes all define a look that is her signature. For Spring 2014, my accessory collections are about a clean, graphic boldness creating a new dimension redefining modern classics.

I don't like it when a woman looks like a fashion victim.

When I create a collection, I approach it with a cinematic point of view-I am not designing clothes, I'm creating a world.

I never went to fashion school. I didn't know what a designer was. I knew I had something, but I didn't know what it was. And it could just have easily been nothing.

I think I'm very fortunate to be born in America. And lucky to be able to have lived and had the opportunity to do what I want to do.
